Your posts are so articulate, and convey the incredibly complex mixture of growth, intimacy and pain which has resulted from this situation. I am not underestimating the positive things which have occurred. I have to admit that I have very strong feelings of sexual longing, and just a desire for the intense closeness which you have described.- it's just not going to happen with my T, but, if it could happen, I would probably not resist it. Probably, as long as you live, you will have strong and meaningful memories of it. As you say, it's not all bad.
But still, so much loss and pain lie ahead. The organization I mentioned-TELL- is for support. There is no pressure to go to court, or anything similiar. Because of the positive aspects of your relationship, this is probably not something you'd want to do. They are just there to help you get out of the situation when and if you choose to. You mentioned that you and your T still do good work together- is it really possible to do both at the same time? I guess it must be! I do like the suggestion of beginning to form a relationship with another T. You would need to find one with whom you could form a strong connection; this would put you in a better position to make healthy choices for yourself and your future. I know something like this takes time to resolve, but I hope you will keep posting to us.
